About Me

Clive joined Burges Salmon as a pensions partner in 2008, having spent over five years at the Pensions Regulator. His private practice background, coupled with his regulatory experience, creates an ideal fit for advising both employers and trustees. His work includes advising on the Silentnight and Bernard Matthews pensions schemes.

Clive advises on all aspects of pensions law, and specialises in clearance, PPF cases, scheme funding and governance, legal interpretation, strategic advice and buy-ins.

His experience at the Regulator includes advising on pension scheme funding and clearance issues. He is regarded as an expert in negotiations, including on benefit redesign, closures and corporate developments.

Clive has advised on a large number of leading scheme funding cases where there has been regulatory interest. He is therefore well-placed to advise on regulatory issues, and his unique insights add real value for our clients.

Clive is also a regular commentator in the press and in industry publications. He is a member of the Association of Pensions Lawyers, the Pensions Management Institute Advisory Committee and the Association of Pensions Lawyers' International Committee. Clive is also a member of the NAPF's legal panel.
